About Bjornoya (Bear Island)
Bjørnøya, or Bear Island, is the southernmost island of Svalbard, between the Norwegian mainland and Spitsbergen. It is some 20 km long, mostly flat and dotted with hundreds of lakes in the north, and mountainous in the south.
Almost 9 km of sea cliffs between Glupen and Sørhamna hold over a million breeding seabirds, among them guillemots, little auks, kittiwakes and fulmars. The island has a history of hunting and of coal and galena mining, and almost the whole island and its waters are now a nature reserve.
Small expedition ships visit occasionally. Weather permitting, passengers go ashore in small boats near the weather station or cruise beneath the bird cliffs; check with your ship.
